Eddie was a pleasure to work with! He realized I had a budget to stay in and did not show me anything outside of my budget. Eddie was extremely knowledgeable when it came to HOAs and reserves. This made the house hunting process so much easier and a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend working with Eddie! Thanks again for helping me find my little dream condo in Chicago!

I am a first time home buyer, and Eddie did a great job of helping me through every step of the process. He spent a lot of time showing me homes and accommodating my difficult work schedule, working through the pros and cons of different types of properties, and helped me to understand the process of closing and all the things required leading up to it. I love my new place and I never would have gotten it without Eddie’s help!

Eddie is truly a gem! He is an attentive person who wants the best for his clients. He knows the market well, but he also has builder knowledge. He can walk through a property and assess the quality of the materials and build which is a helpful skill. He has good knowledge of the local HOA’s and can give a bottom up analysis. I feel so lucky to have worked with such a great realtor!

We used Eddie Colatorti to sell our home in Chicago and he was outstanding. Eddie was excellent at keeping us updated with our online viewings, strategies on how to generate more in unit showings, his social media presence was strong, and we could tell he put a lot of work into his listings. Furthermore, he thought outside the box by hiring a drone specialist to conduct a specialty tour of our unit, so it stood out against our comparable competition. We spoke with Eddie and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area, along with design edits for our home to show better to the public and for the professional photographer. He really is a one-stop shop! We were concerned that our house, which was located in a neighborhood with tons of similar homes and could be tough to sell. Eddie made the process incredibly easy. When we saw our listing we were blown away and did not even want to move. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. This market is definitely challenging and different than anyone has ever seen, but Eddie was not only able to get our house under contract at less than 1% under asking price, but we had three competing offers in one weekend to consider. We accepted and Eddie walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. He was so professional that he even assisted as necessary for the buying party of our home. I've recommended the Eddie Colatorti to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor®.

Eddie is truly someone you want on your side whether purchasing or selling your home, especially in the Chicagoland area! He knows everything about every building including accurate market rates, on-going renovations, how good a building's management is, parking/public transit situations, school districts, restaurants, etc. He is extremely genuine and feels like a lifelong friend helping with your real estate needs. Whether you are looking to buy to live in (That's what he helped me with) or as investment property, he is looking out for you. My condo value was on the low end of his current clients and I truly felt that I was his only client at the time so that just shows how responsive and genuine he is towards everyone he works with. He also helped me find a lender and an attorney. He has a terrific network of real estate agents that he has relationships with to make the process as smooth as possible. Eddie negotiated my purchase price $15K under asking price! This was my first real estate purchase and I simply could not have done it without his guidance. I highly recommend working with him for all of your real estate needs.

We are living our dreams because of Eddie Colatorti. After discovering a home that checked our three boxes in a suburb we hadn’t considered, Eddie got us a showing that evening and accompanied us on a hike out of the city. After falling in love, Eddie represented us in submitting an offer that was reflective of the work needing to be done to modernize this 100-year-old cottage. The owner originally declined, only to call the US back later to accept. This was because of Eddie’s relentless defense of our interests and standing firm on what we all vehemently believed was the right position. Because of Eddie’s expertise, professionalism and consult on its potential with some TLC, our home is now valued 20% more than what we paid and more than that, it is our family’s forever home. And he did all this while also selling our condo to our renter! Eddie, thank you. Thank you for making this house our home and introducing us to an incredible community we never knew we needed.

Eddie was a great resource and ally as I tried to navigate the market and explore some new neighborhoods. He was quick to understand my priorities (must haves) and wants (nice to have) to come up with a great variety of places to show me. I loved that after every showing we would do a quick little run down of what we just saw and he would always call out things that seem unsuspecting to the untrained eye. Light fixtures, windows, etc. Stuff that I may not have noticed right away that could have been problems in the long run. His awareness of the city and neighborhoods were amazing. Has a restaurant and other "great spots" to recommend everywhere so you really get a sense of what it may be like to live there. He is kind, timely and very professional (and hilarious). Home shopping can be frustrating. He helps make it less stressful and great and I love my new home!

Birch H - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie is amazing and our experience was nothing short of excellent. My wife and I were looking for something specific and had an extended timeline in mind; view in the late summer, again in the fall, and lease that winter. Eddie's acumen and energy made the process fun and engaging right from the beginning. His patience and attentiveness made finding that one home from all of possibilities easy to navigate. He really understood us and our criteria. We started from a curated list of possibilities and never saw an apartment that wasn't worth viewing. Eddie was instrumental every step of the way right through to getting our keys.

Derek K - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie was amazing to work with on both my sale and purchase transactions. He always responded promptly, and was completely knowledgeable in all aspect of both locations and the homes themselves we visited. He worked to quickly negotiate both contracts and took care of all paperwork and communication between the parties involved, making the process incredibly easy for me. On the purchase of my now current home, he even essentially performed all of the responsibilities of the seller’s agent as they were out of the country for majority of the process. I would strongly recommend Eddie’s services, you won’t find a better Realtor®!

Zacc C - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

I am the type of person that gives Realtors® nightmares. Loud, emotional, demanding. Eddie was able to manage this by continually updating me with different aspects of the process. He is not only a professional, but a therapist too! My wife and I couldn't be happier with our new home. The day we found it, Eddie ran over there within the hour to give it his stamp of approval that we needed. Working with Eddie was necessary for me to be able to come to terms with buying my first home, and I give him the highest recommendation to anyone out there looking to purchase their first home. 5 stars. Thank you, Eddie!

Michael R - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie was diligent, communicative, and flexible throughout the process of selling our condo. His keen eye for what new homeowners are looking for allowed him to focus on the bigger picture of what made our property the right fit for potential buyers. His attention to detail in listing our home with photographs and a video to illustrate its full potential was an asset. Additionally, he went above and beyond in making himself available to take a phone call or respond to texts and e-mails outside of traditional work hours. We are so thankful that we had Eddie in our corner to make the sale of our home a success!

Kelsey C - Hanover Park, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie is truly one of a kind. Buying our first home we were so nervous and terrified, but Eddie put all of his heart and effort into making the experience very smooth and enjoyable. Every aspect of the home buying process from finding listings to putting in offers was given 110%. Eddie has a drive and at times seemed like he was personally buying the home which gave us that much more piece of mind in finding and creating a great deal. Eddie has exceeded all of our expectations and we could never go through this process again without him. Thank you Eddie!

Corbin S - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie deserves immense credit for helping us find and purchase the Lincoln Park condo of our dreams. From the start, Eddie focused on understanding our needs and wants in a property and focused on showing us the right listings. Thanks to Eddie’s keen understanding of our needs and the real estate market, we were able to negotiate very favorable terms on the ideal property before the listing was public. We absolutely love our new home, and we owe so much to Eddie for helping us find it and for making the home buying process as smooth as possible.

Todd S - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Having worked with several Realtors® in the past, working with Eddie on the recent sale of our home was a breath of fresh air. From the beginning, Eddie mapped a very clear and realistic strategy and expectations for the sale of our property and ultimately delivered on those in a shorter time than was expected! Throughout the process, Eddie was very patient and up-front with us, but what was truly appreciated is Eddie's transparency, feedback, and open and prompt communication. I would highly recommend Eddie to anyone buying or selling.

Connor D - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie's real estate knowledge in the Chicago area is exceptional. He made sure that I was getting the right price for the home and was able to provided multiple comps in the area. He helped negotiate the best deal for me with the seller. He is timely with his responses and was able to show me condos when requested. I'll be happy to recommend him to anyone and also continue working with him in the future.

Will G - Chicago, IL: 2023-05-15

Eddie was amazing to work with. From talking me through the process, to putting my mind at ease, he made the whole thing a great experience. He got my condo on the market and sold for over asking price in less than 48 hours before a for sale sign could even go up.
